Strengthening our Services and Enriching our Culture
Fraser values the diversity of its clients, family members, volunteers, employees, and stakeholders. We are intentional about learning and furthering our understanding of DEIB work because we know that diversity and inclusion strengthen the fabric of our services and the richness of the environment in which we serve.
We are dedicated to creating a work environment and work culture where an individual's dignity is highly valued without regard to the elements that make them unique.
We encourage all who are a part of our community to seek understanding and appreciation for the value of diversity within our employees, customers, volunteers, and vendors. Fraser expects that all individuals interact and treat each other with dignity and respect. As an organization we are committed to working toward an environment of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.
Fraser encourages everyone to be their true and authentic self. We support the LGBTQIA community with specialized services and we embrace staff no matter where they are on their journey toward self-realization and empowerment. We believe our community is stronger when everyone belongs, and our services and culture support that.
Diversity is having difference. Inclusion is ensuring that people feel a sense of belonging and employees feel comfortable, safe and supported by their organization. Having a sense of belonging is the feeling that one is respected and valued in a given context or space. None of this can take place without EQUITY. Equity ensures that all people and employees are valued for their authentic selves. Equity creates programs, policies and other opportunities that provide equal outcomes and challenge the status quo by using a growth mindset. Inclusion, belonging, and true diversity are not possible without equity.
